 Article Headline: SA minerals law too 'weak' on beneficiation, Cronin avers
 Abstract: South African Communist Party (SACP) deputy general-secretary Jeremy Cronin has described provisions on minerals beneficiation in the country's Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act as "weak", but has also suggested that a legislative amendment might be a more "effective" and "affordable" remedy than nationalisation. In a response to the African National Congress Youth League's framework document on the nationalisation of mines, Cronin (whose critique was described as "racist" by the league's president Julius Malema) agreed that the continued exportation of largely unprocessed minerals was reproducing "our semicolonial economic status" and costing South Africa "many potential jobs".
